I like the Queen Mothers Gate too. is it enameled or does someone have to keep it painted? I am always surprised on how much you find to show us each week!

Hyde Park Corner is a great part of London to visit, so much history and of course Hyde Park and Green Park are a stones throw away.

Nice tour. I was curious about the uniformity of the wreaths around the memorial. I wondered if they are placed there by the government, or is there simply a protocol for how wreaths should look?

Great pictures as usual Steve. I don’t find the memorial sad. It is a great tribute and should be acknowledged as such. Feel proud for the people who gave their lives for us.

I like the Royal Artillery Memorial too. Is it a special occasion or are wreaths placed there regularly? Thanks for the tour.
